PhD Position in Spinal Cord Injury research Wings for Life funded (m/f/d)

Content

The Urological Research Team of the Spinal Cord Injury and Tissue Regeneration Center Salzburg (SCI-TReCS) at the Paracelsus Medical University (PMU) is offering a fully Wings for Life funded PhD position in neuro-urological research within the PMU PhD program. More information available on the following webpage: https://www.pmu.ac.at/en/medicalsciencephd.html.

SCI-TReCS was founded in 2011 with the aim to investigate regenerative mechanisms in the field of spinal cord injury. The Urological research team focusses primarily on functional and structural changes of the urinary bladder after a spinal cord injury and to develop therapies to treat neurogenic bladder dysfunctions. Synergistic effects on spinal cord regeneration and other therapy based effects are also assessed in close collaboration with other intramural and external research partners.

The PMU offers a cutting-edge microscopy facility and well-equipped research laboratories. The Neuro-Urology/SCI-TReCS offers a high-end recording station for functional bladder analysis and access to an organ bath.

Demands & Tasks:

You are a scientist in the field of biology / pharmacy / veterinary medicine / human medicine with attendance to work with pre-clinical models, surgical skills and behavioral assessments. Knowledge in the field of spinal cord injury is a further plus as well as experience in one or more of the following areas:

Histology, Immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, RNA/Protein analyses, and you are motivated to perform highly competitive mechanistic research / in vivo models in the field of spinal cord injury and neuro-urology as part of a growing team of excellent researchers.
